It appears to be Schrödinger's vote - it simultaneously doesn't matter whether they vote for it or not because it will pass regardless, but is also somehow incredibly important whether they vote for it or not?

If it doesn't matter whether Labour vote for it or not in terms of if the legislation will pass, it can still matter for other reasons. Backing this deal is taking some of the responsibility for its consequences - and do Labour really want to do that?

There is also the argument that this is the deal that the EU have spent so much time and effort on, so why not?

Jon, it’s not tenable for the Opposition to not have a view on this vote. For people like us, who believe at heart of the EU is the best place for UK, there are no good options. We wouldn’t have jumped from the plane but the choice now is pull the parachute cord or not.

Abstain is not not having a view! In fact it’s the most nuanced view possible - it says we don’t like this Deal, but voting against is too dangerous as that leads to No Deal

But what does Spaffer want them to do? Abstain so he can milk it for all it's worth. There are no good options.

I tend to think that Labour should vote for the deal - but can see the arguments the other way. The problem I have is that they've not been constructing an alternative narrative (see thread).
@lisanandy's tweet looks like a good start.https://twitter.com/syrpis/status/1331215898716332033 … -
I think people are overthinking somewhat The Tory party voted for the Iraq war, I don’t recall them ever being held to account for doing so

Despite not having to, because abstaining would also not have any danger of landing Britain with No Deal
